SPHGEFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,84c2, dated August 4:, 1-885.

Application filed March 9, 1895. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADNA O. WINNING, of Somerville, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new 5 and useful Improvement in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification;

This improvcmentin pipes for the smoking of tobacco, 8m, consists of a stemthat is, of

10 a part leading from the bowl of the pipe to the mouth of the smokermade in atlachable and detachable parts or sections, which in one section, and that a section near the bowl, is provided with a chamber filled with any suitable filtering materialsuch as cotton fibersuitably confined between perforated or wiregauze heads or ends; and in another section, and that asection between said filtering-chamber and the mouth-piece of the stem, is pro vidcd with a drip chamber or receptacle whichisbelow, but in communication with,the passage through the stem, and is adapted to be opened and closed by means of a stopper suitably applied therefor, and all in a manner to secure in the process of smoking tobacco in the bowl of the pipe the deposit, in the filtering-chamber of the stem, of the nicotine extracted from the tobacco,and the deposit, in

the drip chamber or receptacle of the stem,of

0 the saliva passing from the mouth of the smoker, and without contact or commingling of the one with the other.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side view of my 5 improved pipe, and Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section.

In the drawings, A represents the bowl of a tobacco-pipe, and BE H is the stem, and L is the mouth-piece, all as ordinary, except as 0 hereinafter described. a is an annular shoulder surrounding the inside and near the bottom of the tobacco-chamber of the bowl A. On this shoulder a rests a perforated disk, N, making the bottom proper of the tobacco- 43 chamber of the bowl A; and below the disk N is a chamber, M, having direct communication with the passage through the stem of the pipe.

The stem proper is in three sections, B, E,

and H, which are attached together, making one continuous length of stem, and are adapted to be attached and detached at pleasure, setting the one into the other. The section B has a cork plug-piece, B, fitting into the throat of the bowl; and the section H has the mouth-piece L attached to it in the usual manner. The section B, the nearest to the bowl of the pipe, contains afiltering material, 13 such as cotton fiber confined at each end between gauze or perforated disks D D; and the section E adjoins said section B, and is between it and the mouth-piece of the stem, and forms a drip chamber or receptacle in communication with the smoking passage of thestein. This dripchamber section E has a cleanout opening closed by a stopper, F, made attachable and detachable at pleasure.

In the smoking of a tobacco-pipe with a stem of the construction and arrangement of chambers above described, the nicotine extracted from the tobacco being smoked in the bowl, and which in the process of smoking passes from the bowl to the stem, is taken up and deposited upon the filtering material in the filtering chamber or section B, where it is retained, while the saliva which passes from the mouth of the smoker into the stem is deposited and retained in the drip chamber or section E, and in both instances without contact or commingling of the one with the other.

The saliva gathered in the drip-receptacle section can be removed from time to time by detaching the stopper F, and thus opening its clean-out opening; and, again, the filtering material, as may be required, can be removed and renewed from time to time simply by separating the parts of the stem and removing one of the perforated partitions D,and then removing the filtering material,and renewing it, and replacing the parts.

The combination of filtering and nicotine and salivareceiving chambers in the stem of a tobacco-pipe, and in a manner for each to perform its specific work without either a commingling of the nicotine and saliva or without contact of the saliva with the filtering material, coupled with an adaptation of the stem for ready cleansing of either of the chambers independent of the other,obvi ously tends to maintain at all times a mostpure and sweet condition of the stem, and to secure themaXimum filtration and deposit of the nicotine, for the reason that such filtration and the saliva drip-chamberE, having a clean-out dcpositis in no respect affected by the saliva opening and closingstopper F, the filteringwhich may enter into the stem from the mouth chamber B, provided with Wire-gauze disks 1) of the smoker, which, as before stated, is D, and a filtering material located between taken up or caught, as it were, inadrip-reoeptacle therefor interposed between the filtering-chamber and the mouthpiece of the stem. Having thus described my invention, I c1ain1- In a stem for tobacco-pipes, in attachable and detachable sections, the combination of and confined by the disks, substantially as described.
